Fish River Canyon At Sunset, Namibia

Fish River Canyon, in Southern Namibia, is the second largest canyon in the world. It is about 160 km long, up to 27 km wide and up to 550 m deep. Earth crust movements over 500 million years ago cracked the land and began a process of glacial and river erosion that slowly shaped the canyon, exposing the many layers of sedimentary and igneous rock.
